Only a few days till the last GGD of the year! We will be in Hidden Rooms on Friday from 7:30 onwards; there is no booth booked so just turn up! We advise getting there early, especially if you fancy some Pizza Express delivered down. Hope to see you there when I’m not averaging 4 hours’ of NaNoWriMo sleep! x

The next GGD will be at Hidden Rooms on the evening of Friday 29th November. Please let us know if you can make it by the end of this week, so we can decide whether it’s worth booking a booth for those tasty cocktails. As it’s the end of November we hope to see as many of you as possible before Christmas, and congratulate any winning NaNo authors too!

The next GGD, as chosen by your poll results, will be on Wednesday 30th October at Hidden Rooms. We normally book a booth but we will only do this if numbers justify it, otherwise we’ll just turn up on the night. Please let us know if you can make it in a comment here or on Facebook, on Twitter @ggdcambridge, or by mail at girlgeekdinnerscambridge at gmail dot com. We will make the booking if we have at least 8 confirmed on Friday 18th October.

Hidden Rooms provide a member’s discount of 50% on Wednesdays, so sign up on the website- it’s free! Food can be ordered from Pizza Express. Please note that if we book a booth we are required to place a £50 deposit which is used as an initial bar tab- this comes out of our pockets, so contributions are welcome! (We had a member who came to a previous event here, ordered lots of drinks, said she’d ‘forgotten’ to bring money and left without paying anything back. She’s now an ex-member; we don’t want a repeat of this!)

Over the next few weeks we’ll be contacting all GGD members via Facebook, Twitter and email to find out if there is still a large enough number of you interested in coming to events, or whether it’s time to scale things down a bit. Our members are what keeps us going, and turnout has been very disappointing this year; we hope you will get out and spread the word, and come out of winter hibernation!

It’s high time we did another GGD, don’t you think? I’m restarting the Surveymonkey poll to see if we can get more ladies to come- please fill in all dates you can make and we’ll announce the most popular at the end of this week (poll will close 6pm Friday 11th October). Get clicking, and get suggesting your favourite venues too! Worth noting that Hidden Rooms now offers 20% off every day for members, and a whopping 50% off on Wednesdays. Membership is free, and you can sign up at the website.

Let’s try and get one or two more GGDs in before everyone goes off for December festive fun!

This is a reminder that GGD this month will be an informal affair at the Haymakers pub in Chesterton, from 7:30pm on Wednesday 25th September. Come and get some of their finest calzone, but bring a big appetite!

On a side-note, we apologise for the radio silence in the past couple of months; one of your organising team is having a few personal stresses at the moment. Bear with us and normal service will be resumed soon! x

The next GGD will be an informal pub affair! Join us at the Haymakers on the 25th September from 7:30 for good food, awesome beer and even better company. We hope to see many of you there after the summer lull!
